Retro-Commissioning
The process of ensuring that the HVAC systems of an existing building are operating in accordance with the original design concept is referred to as Retro-Commissioning. Over the past 20 years, controls systems have grown progressively complex and now require more calibration and maintenance than before.
This diagnostic process should also be used to train current maintenance staff on the operation of the system and be performed periodically to extend the useful life of the equipment.
The payback for retro-commissioning has been shown to be as quick as 2 years, depending on the building size and complexity of systems.
A central function of a building is to provide a safe and comfortable environment. Mechanical heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are critical to this effort. When not operating properly, HVAC systems can be a detriment to occupant comfort, cost of operation, and to other building components.
Common indicators of mechanical HVAC system problems include occupant complaints, elevated humidity levels, mold growth, and increasing energy consumption.
Our integrated, whole building approach sets us apart and maximizes our benefit to your project. Apollo BBC is expert in evaluating the current performance of diverse HVAC systems and their integration with the other building systems.
